Ok, so i failed at posting one for each of my top ten.......but tomorrow I WILL do my top 3 with in depth write ups!
so coming in at #10 is "Glitter" Gary Levy! I love that Gary is 100% true and genuine. Gary didn't try to hide his larger than life personality and he was amazing! As for gameplay, Gary did his best to make big moves and he took out Tom. Gary would have broken up Emmett and Jillian, but when Emmett and Jillian traded off HOH from like Final 7 and won almost every POV as well, there wasn't a lot he could do, so i do think he played a good strategic game, he even manipulated Emmett into keeping him at F4, then booted Emmett on finale night! I loved how dramatic and fabulous Gary was :)
Some favorite moments: The glitter, Zoe Winburg, the Slop Freak out, the secret marriage alliance w/ Topaz, his HOH win, his F5 POV win, Final HOH win and evicting Emmett, re-entering the game.
#9 is Ika Wong from BB Canada 2! Ika was amazing in the house! She was sassy, fierce, and cutthroat. Ika may have only been in the house for 4 weeks, but she brought plenty of drama! Ika wasn't afraid to stand up for herself, and she didn't take crap from anyone. She was by far the most entertaining player of the season. I can't put Ika higher because of her bullying towards Heather, but she did redeem herself for apologizing to Heather the week of her eviction.
Favorite Ika moments: The letter shredding obviously, calling Kenny a wildebeest and Andrew and asshole, her fight with Sabrina and telling her to shut up and go use the treadmill, Boom Queesha, her DR sessions
#8 is Michele Noonan from BB11! Michele was the first "nerdy" girl for Big Brother. I loved how she was kind of socially awkward at the beginning and nobody really had a read on her, and then she burst out and became a strong physical and mental competitor! Michele played a really strong social, strategic, and physical game and was one of, if not the best, player of the season. I hope they bring her back, but with her post-BB escapades I'm not sure that will happen :/
Favorite Michele moments: face plant in the mud, nominating Chima and causing her to freak out and get "expelled", winning the final 5 POV, claiming she didn't remember certain conversations, owning her title as "devil".
#7 is Dick Donato from BB8 and BB13! Dick is probably the biggest character Big Brother has ever seen. He brought so much drama to BB8 and still managed to win (with help from America's player i'll admit). Dick also played an amazing social and strategic game. He tormented Jen, said awful things about her, and STILL got her to vote to keep him the week that Dustin was blindsided. That was incredible! I loved to see his relationship with Daniele grow stronger and I really respected him as a person for how he also worked on building his relationship with her again. For the short time he was in the BB13 house, Dick played really well. He helped strike the deal between all of the vets and he also was a huge reason why Porsche swayed to their side.
Favorite Dick moments: His comments/fights with Jameka, using the POV on Daniele, fighting with Jen, waking everyone up with pots and pans, winning the final HOH comp
#6 is Heather Decksheimer from BB Canada 2! Heather was probably one of my least favorites pre-game. I didn't expect her to last long, but i was so glad she proved me wrong. Heather had such a rough first few weeks in the house. She was bullied and ostracized for no good reason. I respect her so much for being such a big person and forgiving everyone and keeping her head up. She fought so hard, was the biggest underdog, and she became a powerful player. She did well in comps, she became a key strategist in the sloppy seconds alliance, and she made the country fall in love with her! She is a genuinely good person and i was crushed when she fell short of the finals :(
Favorite Heather moments: her rebound from the first few weeks, her squirrel costume, winning HOH, winning F5 POV, "that 50% is hundo?", seeing her and her boyfriend, always staying classy :)
#5 is Neda Kalantar from BB Canada 2! Neda is an amazing player. She rocked the game strategically and socially. She could be stone cold and cutthroat when she needed to be, but she was also an amazing friend and person in the house. I can't think of a single negative thing to say about her, she was completely robbed of her win. Neda played a nearly flawless game and was so much fun to watch. She was definitely underestimated, and she proved to be the biggest surprise of the season for me!
Favorite Neda moments: Her friendship with Jon, the baby task, the easter egg hunt and her rant about the Easter Bunny and how parents shouldn't lie to their kids about it, her HOH wins, saying how she will backstab and lie and she doesn't care, convincing Jon to take out Arlie
#4 is Kaysar Ridha from BB6 and BB All Stars! Kaysar is so high up on my list because he was a very diplomatic player and was really a first for players of "middle Eastern" descent. He was a very positive representative to the American public when there was a very strong bias towards anyone who is from the Middle East. Kaysar was a very strong strategic player and created my favorite alliance of all time: the Sovereign Six. Kaysar's downfall was that he was such a powerful strategic player that he was the biggest target for the opposing alliance. He had a kind heart, and that is what did him in. He gave Jennifer HOH so she could have her pictures and she stabbed him in the back. The same thing happened in All Stars, Kaysar helped keep the BB6 players together, but when the other side of the house came to power and Janelle saved herself, Kaysar was the next big target.
Favorite Kaysar moments: Backdooring the horrible, obnoxious Eric:"No, I sealed your partner's fate", his fight with Ivette, returning with over 80% of the votes, returning for All Stars, creating the Sovereign Six.
Hint for my final 3: all three have played the game more than once, 2 have played in post all-star seasons
Also, Kaysar is overrated in the strategy department. BB6 he was very smart, but BB All Stars he used his HOH to take out Nakomis, whom he deemed as a floater, when he could have taken a huge player out
